First, decide if you want to setup ZFS or go with a classical EXT/XFS etc. filesystem.
* If you choose to setup **EXT/XFS/..** the [handbook](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64) has excellent documentation.
* If you go with **ZFS** you should check out [Fearedbliss Guide to ZFS](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/User:Fearedbliss/Installing_Gentoo_Linux_On_ZFS)

This guide assumes you choose **ZFS**, because thats what I run and put my research into.
But everything that applies to ZFS in this guide should also apply to EXT filesystems.
